Video HD Colour, 2’ 03”.

The videos of Les fleurs are based on the movement of iron nanoparticles. We can see an oily, pointed sphere in the center of the image that is suddenly shattered by a deaf explosion. The particles are scattered slowly and heavily, the precision of their trajectories indicating the intensity of the impact. The oily substance splashes in all directions, right up to the outer edges of the image. Then each drop starts to come back in the opposite direction, the particles converging on the same central point.
